title: [A papovavirus-like infection in parakeets].
abstract: Several potential causes of disease were detected in young as well as in full-fledged parakeets of several species in an outbreak of disease on a parakeet-breeding farm. Both papovavirus and Absidia sp. were isolated; the drinking water contained a toxic level of nitrates. The pathological findings are presented and the possible role of the various findings in the pathogenesis of the disease complex is discussed.
